45 minutes for an update. water crews are trying to do their best to actually shut down the water. they've been able to do a lot of progress in shutting down the water. >> reporter: why is this such a complicated effort? i know firefighters were here trying to turn off the value ever. why is this more complicated? >> it's a larger break. it's a 12-inch main pipe that was broken. to find out exactly where the valve is to shut it off has been a challenge. >> reporter: in the meantime you were telling me earlier water service not effected in this area. obviously the big issue and the big concern for the hayward police department is the traffic in this area. as you can see several lanes of jackson are shut down in the eastbound direction. obviously a left hand turn lane shut down here. obviously santa clara traffic not getting through as well. this is right mike to 8 --

on controversial spending cuts for two months. u.s. stock futures are occupy this morning as investors are expected to rally once the markets open in this country now that the fiscal cliff has been averted. that is on lead of all the major european markets. most asian markets that were open were also encouraged by this budget deal. hong kong closed with a nearly 3% gang. south korea was up nearly 1.7%. the action by congress to prevent income tax hikes for most americans doesn't mean your paycheck is safe. janine de la vega is live for us in san jose to explain why your next paycheck will still be smaller because of the end of the payroll tax holiday. >> reporter: this payroll tax cut expired on december 31st of 2012. the less money people have to take home the less they have to spend. here's a break down of some

examples. the average family making $50,000 a year will see their paychecks drop by $1,000 a year. the average family making $75,000 a year will see $1500 less a year. the average family making $100,000 a year will see a decrease of $2,000 annually. one man we spoke to this morning said he's been watching what has been happening in congress and reacted to how this will effect people's paychecks. >> it will be hard for everybody. but you know it's really a long- term view. we need to pay back that money so that everyone is going to be able to benefit by the social security. somebody who is really, really pour will have a tough time for it. americans were enjoying a boost in their paychecks. it lowered the social security tax but now it's bunking back

and obviously it's closed down several lanes of traffic here at jackson and santa clara streets. this is right near the entrance to 880. we were first on scene shortly after the water main broke. firefighters first moved in to cut off the flow of water. the situation was a bit more complicated. that is why the water department was called in. they're now using that special tool to isolate the break. isolate the correct valve that will turn off the water in this area and stop the flow. the police lieutenant i talked to said once crews can control the flow of water, officers will start opening up more lanes of traffic. >> once the valve is actually shut off we actually have to repair the pipe so water can flow. that is probably -- and there will still be some traffic congestion at this intersection. how much we really don't know. we'll have to decide when the city crews look at the actual work that needs to be done in order for them to figure out how much of the intersection will be blocked.

>> reporter: meantime the lieutenant is telling me water service in this area has not been effected for anyone as a result of this ruptured pipe. that means businesses and homes do still have water service right now. although he cautions that could potentially change once they turn off the flow of water here. obviously there will be repair work that has to be done on this under ground water line and potentially we're talking about service interruptions in this area. again crews are trying to isolate the rupture. isolate the break on this water line. and they're hoping to do that at some point in the next hour. we'll stay out here and bring you updates throughout the morning. for now we are live in hayward alex savidge. while crews work through the night to fix another water main break and this one was in concord it happened just before 6:00 last night. officials say no one lost water and no homes or businesses or damaged. 6:33. boy it is cold around most of the bay area. and we have a freeze warning

recession. >> i wish i could say this is a proud moment. a moment in which we started the year off right. in which the first of january was the first of great many good things. it isn't. we are kicking the can down the road. >> new members of congress are going to be sworn in tomorrow over the next two months. they will have to resolve the issues this last minute deal did not address which includes the u.s. debt cut and spending cuts. the deal to avert the fiscal cliff has many in holiday celebrate -- in hollywood celebrate. and that caused an outcry from new york area lawmakers. >> i truly feel betrayed. one of congress' most basic responsibilities is to help families. communities, businesses recover. >> the senate already passed a

8:00 yesterday morning when police responded to a 911 call about a man who had an assault rifle in front of a house. he took off in a truck. they followed him to a light rail station that is when he stripped off his clothes and started waving a samurai sword. >> his statement was you're going to have to kill me. he stated that several times. >> after a two-hour standoff the man tried to climb a fence but he fell dropping that sword. they also found a loaded assault rifle in the man's trunk. authorities are trying to figure out what caused a deadly new years eve collision. it killed four people. two women and one man from fairfield ages 23, 28, and 31 died in the hyundai. a 42-year-old man from tracy died in the toyota. the victims names have not been released.
